【０００１】
【発明の属する技術】
この発明は、自走車両の乗員用ガスバッグモジュールに関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
自走車両の乗員用ガスバッグモジュールは、オプションとしてあるいは常備品として、増大する量で自動車産業により十分に供給されている。他方、自動車生産の合理化および国際競争力の保持のために大きな努力が払われているので、乗用ガスバッグのより多くの供給ができるだけ安い費用で実現されなければならない。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しょうとする課題】
かくして、始めに挙げた技術のガスバッグモジュールを材料費、製作費および組立て費について有利にデザインすべき課題が生じる。
【０００４】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題は、本発明のガスバッグモジュールによって解決する。このガスバッグモジュールは、２つの端板と管部材とを締結する締結手段としても利用される圧縮ガス容器と、長手方向に配列された流出孔を有しかつ上記圧縮ガス容器を囲繞できる管部材と、上記圧縮ガス容器によって上記管部材と締結されかつ板素材から別個に形成された２つの板製端板と、折り畳まれて上記管部材上に配備されかつその一部でこの管部材を囲繞しかつこの管部材に取付けられるガスバッグとから成り、上記端板は、内方に突出する椀状部分を有していて、この椀状部分で上記管部材に嵌め込まれる。この場合、上記ガスバッグが帯状物で上記管部材に取付けられていてよい。
【０００５】
【作用】
上記管部材と２つの端板とは圧縮ガス容器により結合されて、組み立て後の構造体内には内部応力が発生すると共に、その椀状部分が管部材にそれぞれ嵌め込まれる２つの端板の管部材に対する半径方向の形状安定性が生じる。
【０００６】
【発明の実施の形態】
この発明は、モジュールを上述のように構成すると、全面を閉じたケースを必要としないという考え、および乗員用ガスバッグモジュールを形成する際に従来よりも概して高度に、上記圧縮ガス容器を本来的に安定した部材としてガスバッグモジュールに取り込みできるという考えに基礎を置いている。
【０００７】
本発明では、上記折り畳んだガスバッグの収容および保持のために、上記圧縮ガス容器を囲む管部材と、２枚の端板とが単に必要とされるに過ぎない。すなわち、上記管部材と２枚の端板とは、上記圧縮ガス容器によって結合されて、一体構造となる。なお、この一体構造内には、内部応力が発生する。また、上記ガスバッグは折り畳まれた状態で本来的に十分に安定しているから、この一体構造には長手方向の壁部を必要としない。
【０００８】
上記ガスバッグモジュールの運搬や装備に際して、上記ガスバッグを保護するための被覆用保護カバーが予め用意される。しかし、この保護カバーは、どんな場合にも常に必要という訳ではない。ただ、本発明の思想の合目的的な発展の結果として述べたものである。
【０００９】
それ故、本発明に係るガスバッグモジュールの場合には、上記圧縮ガス容器およびガスバッグのほかに、単に１個の管部材と２枚の端板とが必要なだけである。また、その際、上記圧縮ガス容器は、同時に締結手段としても使用される。
【００１０】
上記端板は、穴明けされかつ成形された簡単な板部材から成る。なお、この板部材は、任意の要求に容易に適合させることができる。例えば、上記端板４が内方に突出する円形椀状部分１４、１５を有し、また、この端板４がこれらの部分で上記管部材２に嵌め込まれて構造が安定し得るなら、それは長所となる。
【００１１】
上記管部材２の端と、上記椀状部分１４、１５の外周囲の当初の平面内の部分との協働により、上記管部材２と板部材との間には、確実で、しかも本来的に安定した関係が得られる。また、上記圧縮ガス容器、管部材および端板は、より合目的的に、忠実な角度的合致を得るための要素を備えている。したがって、本発明によれば、構造内に内部応力を含む本来的に安定した一体構造の製作が可能である。
【００１２】
【実施例】
以下、本発明の一実施例につき、図１〜５を参照しながら説明する。
【００１３】
図１に示す円筒形圧縮ガス容器１は、ねじ棒２２をその頭部に有し、また、細幅の切取り部分２１を備えかつ突出しているフランジ２３をその脚部に有する。なお、上記細幅の切取り部分２１は、端板４の折曲げ部分２０（図３参照）と係合して、圧縮ガス容器１と端板４との間の忠実な角度的合致を実現する。
【００１４】
図２に示す管部材２は、上記圧縮ガス容器１を収容することができると共に、ガスバッグ５の作動時に突然自由となる圧縮ガスのための流出孔３を有する。これらの流出孔３は、上記管部材２の長手方向に配列されてガス流を多少絞るように働き、また、このガス流は、上記ガスバッグ５の全入口断面を経て、ガスバッグに一様に負荷される。
【００１５】
上記管部材２には、その端にそれぞれ切取り部分６、７が設けられている。そして、これらの切取り部分６、７は、上記端板４の半径方向外方に突出する椀形部分１４、１５に設けた突出部分１１、１２（図３参照）と協働して、上記管部材２と端板４との間の忠実な角度的合致を実現する。
【００１６】
板素材から成りかつスタンピングおよびパンチングによって適切な形状を得た上記端板４は、図３に示すごとく、補助パイプ（または補助棒）１０により互いに結合される。また、上記端板４には、内方向（すなわち、収容されるべき上記管部材２の方向）に突出する円形椀状部分１４、１５がカッティングおよびシェーピング手段を使って形成されている。かくして、上記端板４は、上記円形椀状部分１４、１５を介して上記管部材２に嵌め込むことができ、その結果として、半径方向の形状安定性が生じる。
【００１７】
さらに、上記円形椀状部分１４、１５には、これらの椀状部分１４、１５から半径方向外方に突出する１つまたは複数の突出部分１１、１２がそれぞれ設けられている。そして、これらの突出部分１１、１２は、上記管部材２（図２参照）の端に設けた切取り部分６、７と嵌合可能であり、その結果、上記管部材２と上記端板４との間の忠実な角度的合致が実現される。
【００１８】
さらに、上記２枚の端板４には、切取り部分１６、１７がそれぞれ設けられている。そして、これらの切取り部分１７および１６の径は、上記圧縮ガス容器１の径およびこの圧縮ガス容器１のねじ棒２２（図１参照）の径にそれぞれ合わされている。
【００１９】
さらに、上記折曲げ部分２０は、既述のごとく、上記圧縮ガス容器１（図１参照）のフランジ２３に設けた切取り部分２１と係合されて、上記圧縮ガス容器１と端板４との間の忠実な角度的合致を実現する。
【００２０】
さらに、上記端板４には、上記ガスバッグモジュールを車両に固定するための折曲げ部分８および穿孔９も設けられている。また、上記端板４には、補助パイプ１０を固定するための突起１８、１９も設けられている。なお、この補助パイプ１０は、ガスバッグモジュール用被覆体（図示省略）の取り付けのために、また必要なら、上記圧縮ガス容器１を経て掛かる構造部分の応力の補足のために必要とされる。
【００２１】
図４には、図１〜３の構造部材を組み立てて一体構造としたガスバッグモジュールを示した。なお、ねじ棒２２に螺入される締め付けナットは、図示されていない。また、この図４は容易に理解できるから、その説明は省略する。
【００２２】
図５には、図４に示す一体構造の断面を示した。この図５には、圧縮ガス容器１は示されてないが、折り畳んだガスバッグ５と保護カバー１３とが示されている。ガスバッグ５は、保護カバー１３によって覆われている。もし、上記折り畳んだガスバッグ５が本来的に安定な形であるならば、この保護カバー１３は必要ではない。なお、ガスバッグ５のこの本来的に安定な形は、上記ガスバッグ５の膨張が緊急時に阻害されることのない点状接着個所により、容易に得ることができる。
【００２３】
端板４には、図５から明らかなように、被覆体を枢支する補助パイプ（または補助棒）１０を固定するための突起１８、１９が存在する。さらに、椀状に突出する部分１４、１５、これらの部分１４、１５内に設けられた上記圧縮ガス容器１のねじ棒２２と等径および圧縮ガス容器１と等径の切取り部分１６、１７、および折曲げ部分８が認められる。
【００２４】
上記実施例のガスバッグモジュールは、生産が非常に簡単でかつ少ない部材から成る。したがって、生産コスト面でも有利である。また、車両への装着は、折曲げ部分と穿孔で種々の装着条件に直ちに適合させ得るから、極めて容易である。さらに、端板４と管部材２との結合には圧縮ガス容器を結合手段として利用し、またその際に、ガスバッグ５を除く全構造部材は、１本のボルトを使用するだけで組み立てることができる。なお、上記ガスバッグ自身は、周知の方法で上記管部材上に帯状手段で固定することができる。
【００２５】
【発明の効果】
本発明は、上述のような構成であるから、管部材と２つの端板とは圧縮ガス容器により結合されて、組み立て後の構造体内には内部応力が発生すると共に、その椀状部分が管部材にそれぞれ嵌め込まれる２つの端板の管部材に対する半径方向の形状安定性が生じる。したがって、構造部材の生産が非常に簡単で、しかも部材点数が少なく、このために、材料費、製作費および組立て費を著しく軽減することができる。

[Technology to which the invention belongs]
The present invention relates to a gas bag module for an occupant of a self-propelled vehicle.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Self-propelled vehicle occupant gas bag modules are adequately supplied by the automotive industry in increasing amounts, either as options or as stand-alone items. On the other hand, great efforts are being made to streamline automobile production and maintain international competitiveness, so a greater supply of passenger gas bags must be realized at the lowest possible cost.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Thus, the problem arises that the gas bag module of the first mentioned technology should be advantageously designed in terms of material costs, production costs and assembly costs.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The above problems are solved by the gas bag module of the present invention. This gas bag module includes a compressed gas container that is also used as a fastening means for fastening two end plates and a pipe member, and a pipe member that has an outflow hole arranged in the longitudinal direction and can surround the compressed gas container. Two plate end plates that are fastened to the tube member by the compressed gas container and formed separately from the plate material, and are folded and arranged on the tube member and partly surround the tube member made by and with the gas bag to be attached to the tubular member, the end plate may have a bowl-like portion projecting inwardly, are fitted to the pipe member in the bowl-shaped portion. In this case, the gas bag may be attached to the pipe member with a belt-like material.
[0005]
[Action]
The tube member and the two end plates are coupled by a compressed gas container, and internal stress is generated in the assembled structure, and the tube members of the two end plates are fitted with the hook-shaped portions in the tube members, respectively. Resulting in radial shape stability.
[0006]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention, when the module is configured as described above, a case where the entire surface is closed is not required, and the compressed gas container is inherently higher than the conventional one when forming a passenger gas bag module. It is based on the idea that it can be incorporated into a gas bag module as a stable member.
[0007]
In the present invention, only the tube member surrounding the compressed gas container and the two end plates are required to accommodate and hold the folded gas bag. That is, the pipe member and the two end plates are joined by the compressed gas container to form an integral structure. An internal stress is generated in this integrated structure. Moreover, since the gas bag is inherently sufficiently stable in the folded state, the integral structure does not require a longitudinal wall.
[0008]
When transporting or installing the gas bag module, a covering protective cover for protecting the gas bag is prepared in advance. However, this protective cover is not always necessary. However, it is described as a result of the purposeful development of the idea of the present invention.
[0009]
Therefore, in the case of the gas bag module according to the present invention, in addition to the compressed gas container and the gas bag, only one tube member and two end plates are required. At that time, the compressed gas container is also used as a fastening means at the same time.
[0010]
The end plate consists of a simple plate member that is perforated and molded. This plate member can be easily adapted to any requirement. For example, if the end plate 4 has circular hook-shaped portions 14 and 15 projecting inward, and the end plate 4 is fitted into the tube member 2 at these portions, the structure can be stabilized. It will be an advantage.
[0011]
By the cooperation of the end of the tube member 2 and the portion in the initial plane of the outer periphery of the hook-like portions 14 and 15, there is a reliable and original between the tube member 2 and the plate member. A stable relationship can be obtained. In addition, the compressed gas container, the pipe member, and the end plate are provided with elements for obtaining a faithful angular match more appropriately. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to manufacture an inherently stable integrated structure including internal stress in the structure.
[0012]

The end plate 4 is formed with circular hook-shaped portions 14 and 15 projecting inwardly (that is, in the direction of the tube member 2 to be accommodated) using cutting and shaping means. Thus, the end plate 4 can be fitted into the tube member 2 via the circular hook-shaped portions 14 and 15, and as a result, radial shape stability occurs.
[0017]
Further, the circular hook-shaped portions 14 and 15 are provided with one or a plurality of protruding portions 11 and 12 that protrude radially outward from the hook-shaped portions 14 and 15, respectively. And these protrusion parts 11 and 12 can be fitted with the cut parts 6 and 7 provided in the end of the said pipe member 2 (refer FIG. 2), As a result, the said pipe member 2 and the said end plate 4 and A faithful angular match between is achieved.
[0018]
Further, the two end plates 4 are provided with cut portions 16 and 17, respectively. The diameters of the cutout portions 17 and 16 are matched with the diameter of the compressed gas container 1 and the diameter of the screw rod 22 (see FIG. 1) of the compressed gas container 1, respectively.
[0019]
Further, as described above, the bent portion 20 is engaged with the cut-out portion 21 provided on the flange 23 of the compressed gas container 1 (see FIG. 1), so that the compressed gas container 1 and the end plate 4 are engaged with each other. A faithful angular match between them.

The end plate 4 is also provided with protrusions 18 and 19 for fixing the auxiliary pipe 10. The auxiliary pipe 10 is required for attaching a gas bag module covering (not shown) and, if necessary, for supplementing the stress of the structural portion applied through the compressed gas container 1.
[0021]
FIG. 4 shows a gas bag module in which the structural members of FIGS. The tightening nut screwed into the screw rod 22 is not shown. Also, since FIG. 4 can be easily understood, description thereof is omitted.
[0022]
FIG. 5 shows a cross section of the integrated structure shown in FIG. Although the compressed gas container 1 is not shown in FIG. 5, the folded gas bag 5 and the protective cover 13 are shown. The gas bag 5 is covered with a protective cover 13. If the folded gas bag 5 is inherently stable, this protective cover 13 is not necessary. In addition, this inherently stable shape of the gas bag 5 can be easily obtained by the point-like bonding portion where the expansion of the gas bag 5 is not hindered in an emergency.
[0023]
As is apparent from FIG. 5, the end plate 4 has protrusions 18 and 19 for fixing the auxiliary pipe (or auxiliary rod) 10 that pivotally supports the covering body.
